- Summary:
-
"In this report, we attempt to further the project of reforming the criminal defences as they are applied to battered women who have been charged with homicide for killing their abusive partners, but we do not limit our analysis to the contemporary legal rules and principles that shape self-defence. We look deeper than this to the practices of those laws. For example, we examine the theories of intimate partner violence (IPV) used by legal professionals and experts in order to determine which facts are selected and presented as relevant to understanding what happened in these cases, the language used to frame those facts and the conclusions drawn from them. Then we look at the old common law of self-defence and marriage to examine how its framing of forms of violence and defensive force are implicit in the application of the law today." --Executive summary (page 4).
